About Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Testing

Mett-Bio Metallurgical Testing and Services has in-house developed washers and crevice formers, complying with the ASTM G48 standard.

Tests are performed in our ISO 17025:2017 NABL accredited lab under constant supervision and expert laboratory personnels.

Test methods as per ASTM G 48-11(2020) induces pitting and crevice corrosion in a material to measure susceptibility of material towards pitting and crevice.

This test has six unique methods described as:

Method A: Ferric Chloride pitting test

Method B: Ferric Chloride Crevice Test

Method C: Critical pitting temperature test for nickel base and chromium bearing alloys.

Method D: Critical Crevice temperature test for nickel base and chromium bearing alloys.

Method E: Critical pitting temperature test for Stainless steels.

Method F: Critical Crevice temperature test for Stainless steel..
